I have just posted a message over on our other site
[http://www.outlinersoftware.com/] inquiring about the fate of the
outliners.com archive, a copy of which Chris Murtland received in May.
Apparently there are difficulties in rendering it usable.
Has anybody heard anything more about this? Do others have copies of
this file? It would be a pity to lose all those discussions,
especially as the discussion group has now disappeared from the
outliners.com website.
It is possible to use Google, first searching for "outliners.com",
then selecting "Find web pages from the site outliners.com". About
19,700 pages come up, and Google allows searching within these results.
Unless I am doing something wrong, however, this last search does not
seem to me to work very well; many posts about software we have
discussed in the past (Zoot, ConnectedText, MyInfo) do not come up.
This suggests that Google cannot substitute for a complete searchable
archive of our own.
